NEST
Finding a birds nest revealed in winter as the leaves fall from the hedgerows is one of lifes' joys...
The architecture of these bird made structures both enthral and astonish me.
In my work I am not trying to copy these wondrous structures but to perhaps emulate the emotional connection we have with finding and treasuring a nest
Although a direct copy is not my intention, I do aim to study closely the particular species of nest and where and how they are made and have a life long passion for our native bird life and the protection needed of their nesting sites.
Using up cycled electrical wire and rusted fencing, the works aim to gently highlight the loss of our hedgerows for our native nesting birds.
